What can we learn from the ancient world? And how is it relevant today? At Kent, you’ll discover how the ancient world shapes today’s culture, identity and politics – and gain practical experience that prepares you for a wide range of careers.
You’ll study classical civilisation and archaeology right where Roman Britain began – with hands-on digs, heritage placements, and the chance to design your own creative project.
Through history, literature, art, philosophy and archaeology you’ll learn about the Roman Empire, Greek Civilisation and Ancient Egypt. You’ll also consider how the ancient world is around us today in films, books, TV and video games. Topics such as gender and sexuality, mythology and storytelling, identity, migration and religion will also be discussed in the context of the ancient world, and modern society.
At Kent, you’ll be surrounded by extraordinary heritage sites including Iron Age hill forts and Roman villas, and of course London is only one hour away with even more to offer.
You could make your own archaeological discoveries, analyse your findings in our lab, learn an ancient language, design your own computer game inspired by the ancient world, complete an internship at a heritage site or study abroad in an historical city.
Your degree is assessed entirely through coursework – no exams. Instead, you'll engage in creative projects, collaborate with peers on presentations, develop arguments in essays, write archaeological site reports, and analyse finds in the Archaeology Lab. Our coursework- and project-based approach gives you ownership of your learning and prepares you for a successful future.
Whatever your passion or interest, you’ll gain the expertise and skills for a career in archaeology, heritage and conservation, education, charity, government and more.
